«The anti-mafia magistrates, many and brave, are fighting a war, often silent, once morest the physical and psychological violence that is wearing out the healthy part of society.

Maresca and Sirignano, two magistrates who are symbols of the fight once morest the Camorra, confront each other in a public meeting entitled “Servants of the State”, promoted by the Rotary Club of Naples East and that of Naples North.

The magistrate and his role

The meeting is an opportunity for a dialogue-debate on the role of the Judiciary in the all-out war once morest organized crime, but above all it is a conversation that focuses on the figure of the magistrate as a modern hero, often ready to sacrifice to pursue that objective of Justice that the State must guarantee.

The commitment to a just society

For Angelo Coviello, president of the North East Rotary Club: «The recent repentance of a historical figure of the Camorra like Francesco ‘Sandokan’ Schiavone, marks a fundamental turning point in the fight once morest organized crime on the one hand, and on the other reaffirms the role fundamental role of the Judiciary in our justice system. Through ‘Servants of the State’, we want to pay homage and give voice to those who, like magistrates Maresca and Sirignano, represent the advanced frontier of this battle, testifying to their commitment in favor of a more just and equitable society, often putting themselves at risk ».
